The Herald Square Hotel

Housed in the building where Life magazine was published from 1883 to 1936, this hotel is a great value in a landmark location. Though the rooms are nothing special, they are clean, pleasant, and feature many amenities (like free Wi-Fi access and an on-site, coin-operated laundry room) that will make budget-conscious travelers feel at home. The central midtown location is great for shopping at Macyas, catching a game at Madison Square Garden, or seeing the sights from the top of the nearby Empire State Building.
